[Singapore]Thoughts on the relatively inexpensive Four Points by Sheraton Singapore Riverview, a Marriott affiliate

I had a hard time choosing a hotel to stay at when traveling alone in Singapore.
I am a MarriottBonvoy member, so I usually look for a Marriott-affiliated hotel as far as possible.However, hotels in Singapore are expensive and I cannot easily choose one.

Among the Marriott hotels, the Four Points by Sheraton Singapore Riverview was relatively inexpensive.

The location is along the Singapore River, near Robertson Quay.
It is just over 1 km west of Clarke Quay.
The nearest MRT station is Havelock, which I walked to from the station.

Other hotels lined the main street in this neighborhood.
But I felt that there were not many stores around on the way there.

The hotel seemed small and cozy.
There is a lounge and restaurant next to the lobby.

There was a Starbucks coffee stand, but it was expensive.

The room was upgraded to a river view, but the room itself was no different from the room we had reserved.

The room had a reasonably spacious desk, an espresso machine, and other standard room contents, although there were no special features.

Bathrooms have showers only.

The pool is standard, but there was a little space by the pool to relax.
You can also enjoy a board game of soccer.

There is also a coin-operated laundry by the pool, which is convenient for long-term travelers.
However, washing and drying clothes are expensive.

There was a good variety of breakfast, but it was not luxurious. It was enough for me, but it was not luxurious enough for the hotel’s rank.
However, the service of making freshly-baked Kaya toast was nice.

What I was concerned about was the hotel’s surroundings.
It would be convenient if there were restaurants and convenience stores where one could casually stop by, but there are not many.
Crossing the bridge over the river that runs behind the hotel, there were a few restaurants and a small convenience store.

There was also a shopping mall called “Great World” within walking distance, so I went there, but it was about 700 meters away, so I had the impression that it was a bit far.

The location is a little bad, but there is a bus stop right in front of the hotel.
I did not feel inconvenienced by having to go sightseeing in a remote location.

Overall, I had the impression that this is a standard hotel in terms of facilities and satisfaction.
If you are going to use the hotel, I think you should consider the surrounding environment and plan your trip accordingly.
